What the columns mean
#
League rank in this situation, by the gap from the team's own window baseline. Teams with fewer than five games in the situation are listed but left unranked.
Record
Wins and losses in final regular-season games matching this situation.
Avg margin
Points scored minus points allowed, per game, in those games. A minus sign means the team was outscored.
Window
The same figure across every game the team played inside the selected dates — its own baseline for this window, not for the season and not the league's.
Vs. window
Avg margin minus Window: how much better or worse the team plays in this situation than it usually does.
How it's counted

Average margin is team points minus opponent points, over final regular-season games only; ties are impossible in basketball, so every game lands in a win or a loss column.

Both figures are measured inside the selected window: a team's baseline is its own record across the games it played in these dates, not across the whole season.

Conditions overlap — a back-to-back can also be a long-travel game. Teams with fewer than five games in a situation are listed but left unranked, since a two-game sample says nothing.

These are descriptive splits, not causal estimates: they do not adjust for opponent strength, injuries, or home court.
